A better assumption would be that it’s similar if not better than the AIM-95 (it had two motors developed and flight tested, one with significantly enhanced performance), I forget what the ballpark was for value arrived at, IIRC it would have been @MiG_23M that did the calculations for it, somewhere in the thread.
M2.35 irl should allow the EFT to go M2.47 ingame, so its actually missing M0.21 in speed at alt rn, and like stated, it takes an eternity to get to that speed since its acceleration quickly falls off at higher speeds:

What?
VNe ingame is 5% higher than irl. 1.05x 2.35 is 2.47. This is how literally every aircraft top speeds work in-game, the EFT is underperforming, not even hitting its IRL stated VNe, never mind what it should be hitting in-game.

EFT isn’t only plane with this issue then
It just seems like Rafale was one of the first to have it fixed (though iirc it really shouldn’t be going past mach 2)
Typhoon shouldnt exceed mach 2.0?
The stated figures from RAF and Luftwaffe are their maximum operating speeds.
RAF states mach 1.8.
The airframe in testing was capable of easilly exceeding that.
The Rafale buff wasnt a VNe increase (unless you’re referring to a buff idk about), it was a massive acceleration increase. It is now the single best high speed acceleration plane in-game, and will most likely rip its wings in high alt level flight.

He was talking about the rafale obviously.

He did indeed! I have had that 1.8 figure used regularly!
Still they want MICA buffed. If that happens we all may aswell pack up and go home
I mean, you do realize that the french wont have a better missile till meteor, and they won’t get meteor (same with typhoon) when people will fire around aim-120C and whatever the Russian and Chinese counterparts are.
The meteor is literally the end game together with r37 and pl15.
When they nerf/remove multipath even more(i think they will in the future) the mica will suddenly be a lot less dangerous

Still no clue why people are so negative about the eurofighter + with the amount of people i see trying to seriously claim the rafale it seems to be quite something.
MICA IR/EM
No way for gameplay reasons can you give MICA 120 range while allowing the Rafale to mount and guide 8 with the best Radar and now the best FM.
Oh ok
That will not happen, at least until aim120C
Because the Typhoons only advantage was to be high and fast and turn well.
That is the Typhoons gameplay.
Now it has been nerfed it’s not as fast and it turns worse.
Likely still has a very buggy Radar and only carries 5 120s.
Gaijin are burying the Typhoon
The Rafale is leaping ahead with constant buffs and the Su-30 will likely be superior. US mains will receive an F-15 with an AESA Radar while Typhoon guys have to struggle with the Craptor.

The su30 will never be superior to anything, even the su35 will be bad compared to the eurofighter/rafale those two will always be the best planes for a long time.
Yeah it will still need time for everything to be fixed, but otherwise eurofighter was late to get any esa radar so your radar will be behind until tranche 4.
There isn’t also anyone favored in terms of bug report and it has a great future instead of 9m it will eventually get iris-t/asraam alongside aim120 so it will be quite versatile.
